I need all advice on this decorating question. How would you make a living room come together with this furn.
I want to get another sofa for my living room, but I need it to tie my brown and black plaid (houndstooth type) curtains together with my floral sofa and matching highback chair. The floral print has red, green, blue and the background is offwhite. The reason I think that maybe somehow I can tie in the curtains with the couch is because the roses in the center go to a red that is so dark then black. My decor is mexican pottery and rustic furniture, mother and child type statues. The floral sofa and chair do have an elegant edge so that is why I was thinking I could get away with something that is not country. My entertainment center is rustic and 6 feet tall by about 10 feet wide so it is the focal point almost immediately. What should I do to tie all this together? The furniture (entertainment center, couch and chair) have to stay. I would like any and all advice on this. Thanks.
It sounds like you have some formal furniture in a pretty casual room. That alone can be a challenge. There are of course many many options. A simple one may be new curtains, to go with everything. But the rustic vs formal is a puzzle. If the sofa and chair have some pretty severe lines, you may want to soften them with a lumpy hand woven throw, and/or some over stuffed pillows. A nice sisal rug may help pull some of the elements together. You would be surprised just how much bringing in some nice plants will tie the place together. Some palms in the corners, and by the windows, and a smaller one by the high backed chair. Have fun – good luck!
